Auverusuig rates furnished b FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1944 Record Continued Perquimans County's record for meeting war bond goals has been continued with the news that the Hfth War Loan was oversubscribed by nearly 200 per cent Much credit for this splendid record goes to the War 1-inance Lonimitfee in general and to R. M. Riaoick, chairman, in particular, for 11 was the chairman and the com mittee that constantly pushed the sale of bonds. However, the great est credit goes to the people of this county who so readily shelled out their cash to back the boys on the invasion fronts of thevorld. Iteports show that the . overall quota of the Fifth War Loan has been met, but in many places the sale of E bonds still lag surely the news that Perquimans County has not only met its overall quota, but also is one of the few counties hav ing oversubscribed its E bond quota is welcomed by the men from this county now in service. It answers the question "are the home folks backing the war?" j This newspaper proudly hails the fact that Perquimans County has one of the best records in the State 1 regarding sales of war bonds but that record must be maintained un til the final victory is won. Let's continue the record buying bonds regularly every month. War Production Vital If the defense of Minsk, like the defense of Cherbourg, is the best1 that the enemy can do, then the Hit- lentes are closer to complete de feat than most of us suspect. With such news from the fighting fronts it is easy for the people of the Allied nations to become over optimistic. Our own General Staff has cautioned Americans not to ac cept the idea that the war is won and they are right, because any let up will prolong the struggle. Alxeady, military leaders are call ing for sustained production of mu nitions, weapons and implements of warfare. They know that this is not the hour to cut off the pressure that keeps up the flow of supplies to the fighting areas. Now is the day when every American oh the home front should exert himself, or herself, to the utmost in order to reap the greatest gain from favorably de veloping opportunities. Russia's Tribute To Her Allies The Soviet Information Bureau reviewing the first three years of the war with Germany, pays tribute to the assistance given the Red Army by the United States and Great Bri tain, saying: "Successes of the Red Army were considerably assisted by our Allies, the United States and Great Britain, who supplied us with every valu able strategic war material and ar maments. and who anhiprt.H t tematic bombing the military tar-' gets of .' Germany and thus undor mined German military strength." Reviewing the war on the eastern front the Moscow agency says that the Red Army has killed or cap tured 7,800,000 Germans and that the Nazis have lost 90,000 cannons, 70,000 tanks juid 60,000 planes. in tne three years of fighting the Russians have driven the Germann from 975,150 square miles of Soviet territory. At the farthest point they , nave pusnea ine enemy back 1,242 miles. "Since the defeat at Stalin grad," in February, 1943, the Ger mans, according to Moscow, "had been unable to recover and are now faced with complete rout." . r The Russians admit that they have suffered heavy losses blithe ngnt against the Germans. Moscow reports 000,000 men killed, cap- tared or missinar and th 1am fi 48,000 cannons, 49,000 tanks and children . of Newport News, Va.; vis 80428 planes. i ited Mr. and Mrs. C C.

Controlling Weeds Pasture Problem The presence of a large number of weeds in a permanent pasture in dicates ene or two problems, low soil fertility and overgrazing, or probably a combination of the two, says Dr. R. L. Lovvorn, agronomist of the Agricultural Experiment Station at State College. "Most growers think of controlling weeds in pastures by mowing, but there is a much better way," says Lovvorn. "Apply one to two tons of limestone per acre and 500 pounds of 0-14-7 to obtain a good sod. Do not overgrraze the pastures during dry weather and keep' the animals off the range in early spring until the clo vers and grasses are established." Lovvorn points out that there wh be a considerable growth of weeds immediately after the limestone andi fertilizer are applied but that they can be kept down by mowings until a good sod is established. He says mat a iiiviwuiic ujaniuic ucaio liic same relationship to weed control as headache tablets to a headache. Growers will need to provide sup plementary grazing for early' spring and also for the hot, dry periods in summer. Small grains and crimson clover make excellent spring grazing, while kudzu, Sudan grass and leg pedeza are good for the summer. "Weeds compete with the better legumes and grasses for moisture and nutrients, thus reducing the amount of grazing a pasture is' capable of providing, and every pas ture program shauld have a definite plan for weed control," Loworn says.
